ABOUT ME
Hello, so nice to meet you
My name is Dahlia Advani. I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Coach based in Orange County, California.
I help individuals break out cycles of suffering, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and build healthy relationships with others.
I like to think of therapy from a Body-Mind-Spirit perspective, a holistic approach that invites all our parts into the healing process; creating opportunities for change and growth. I believe therapy is a way for individuals to connect and access their own wisdom to make the changes for a life that is most inspiring and fulfilling. I utilize an integrative approach including Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and a Humanistic approach tailored to meet your individualized needs. I combine elements of Western psychotherapy, Neuroscience and Eastern traditions. I draw from 15+ years of meditation, yoga, spirituality and a mindfulness practice.
My Process
Before beginning to work on processing traumatic experiences, first I spend time helping clients build coping skills and grounding techniques. I will also help them better understand how past experiences and attachment styles have affected who they are today and why certain things trigger their symptoms. I work adjusting the approach and pace to each client and their unique make-up.
My Invitation
I invite people to explore areas that may be affecting them and make a transition from where they are, to where they would like to be. We will identify potential areas of growth and ways to measure your progress. My style is a blend of compassion, kindness, acceptance and authenticity. I am direct and engaging, action-oriented and
solution-focused.
